have been much interested in watch
ing the effect Of tree planting upon the
hlizzards. The blizzard drives along the
~sdrfacc Of the ground, and 1t has for ages
upon ages found no tree to halt or veer it.
The settlers on the plains planted trees,
however, and these trees now stand MS OBJ
stacles to the full sweep OF the ice laden
wind. A few days ago, rs Il blizzard
awept over the country, | passed through
u lovely planted grove Of tree cotton
woods, silver NAPLES, green ashes, etc,
and noted with pleasure that among the
trees the violence of the wind was greatly
reduced, and the flakes of snow dropped
lazily to the ground, where they rested ms
contentcdly as IL they had fallen upon the
tree covered hills Of New In Gland.
As soon rs | passed out of The grove
had to face again the furious flakes, driv-
Ing horizontally in their mad career over
the earth. AS often as | passed through a
little grove of trees | found that l left tho
blizzard; but as soon as 1 emerged from
the shcltering trees the blast struck me
aguin IN all its fury. This bit of expert
encc Is duplicated thousands of times
every day upon the plains. Tho tree
planter has routed the blizzard wherever
he has set his little army Of trees. Pro

Paper has changed in form considerably
during this century. Fifty years ago
paper in shape like our foolscap was gen
orally used for correspondence. II Was
folded according to the skin of the writer
and sealed with sealing wax. Then came
the letter size; then commercial note. In
America scaling wax has gone out OF date.
Not SO in Europe. Nothing ever goes cut
OF date in Europe, II the Efforts Of artisans
or others interested III its sale can accom-
plish that result. So called seals are seen
in rings and attached to the watch chains
OF American gentlemen, but they simply
suggest n disused function, like The rudi-
mentary fms of some kinds of fish. In

Pushed as the writer always is to the
highest rate of speed which he commands,
he must bend every energy to the task.
Brain and muscle must be strained to the
utmost to accomplish their work, and, the
notes completed, he must set to work with
a~ssiduity to transcribe them for use, n
task requiring, as he knows, -four times
the period occupied by the dictation, but
which fact many otherwise intelligent
masters are frequently unable to compre-
bend. The strangest experience of short
hand writer's is the Inability of the en-
ployer TO understand the difference be-
tween h spoken and written language as
TO the proportion OF time required to pro
duce them respectively, and the annoy
ance which is the outgrowth OF this ignor-
ance Is one of the peculiar hardships of
the shorthand writer.
1t Is as though II messenger should be
required to emulate a racehorse In celer-
ity OF motion. He therefore bends all his
energies to hasten his transcript, and his
days work leaves him fatigued beyond
my Of his fellow clerks. For this reason
the work is not adapted to m The
strain Is too great, and although in some
instances n good constitution may enable
the worker to endure for years, injury Is
sustained which Is generally irreparable.

In The American Art, there Is IN in
tercsting account OF the practice of n new
art In this country, but like most OF the
arts, It Is nothing more than the revival
Of an art profnsely practieed by the
Greeks. ms the remains Of their temples
testify. This art consists in the ability to
apply colors OF n certain manufacture to
stone, and Is called the ''endolithic pro-
cess" To apply color successfully to
stone 1t must be made TO sink below the
surface without spreading. The means OF
accomplishing this has been found aud, as
a result, interiors OF marble can be tinted
